Hi,

the screen-num property exposed by ximagesrc does not seem to have any effect,
the value is set but never used by any code AFAICS.

The property should be fixed or removed.

I can try to fix it, but considering that the screen can also be specified as
part of the display-name property (e.g. display-name=":0.1") we should think to
some scheme for when the screen is specified using both mechanisms at the same
time (e.g. display-name="0.0" screen-num=1)

I'd vote for dropping screen-num altogether.

Thanks,
   Antonio
